Explanation:
Detailed explanation-1: -One of the key molecules in DNA replication is the enzyme DNA polymerase. DNA polymerases are responsible for synthesizing DNA: they add nucleotides one by one to the growing DNA chain, incorporating only those that are complementary to the template.
Detailed explanation-2: -DNA polymerase is responsible for the process of DNA replication, during which a double-stranded DNA molecule is copied into two identical DNA molecules.
Detailed explanation-3: -DNA polymerase adds nucleotides to the 3’ end of a primer, extending the new chain in a 5’
